Chapter 13: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Let's say that Han Jiangxue and Song Yu had dinner at Chen Banxian's house, and it was already dark at the right time, Chen Banxian stayed at home to entertain the guests who came to mourn, and Liu Zhishu sent Han Jiangxue and them to the east of the village, pointing to an overgrown sheep intestine path in front of them, with a slightly solemn expression: "Go down from this road, almost 500 meters, you can see a low dirt slope, where is the tomb of Concubine Hua." ”
Han Jiangxue thanked Liu Zhishu and said gratefully: "It's not too early, Liu Zhishu, go home and rest, and leave the rest to us to deal with." ”
Liu Zhishu sighed helplessly, as if he was keeping the two of them, and said in a gentle tone: "You are about the same age as my daughter who is working hard, as an elder, I will last advise you, your life is your own, don't risk yourself, and stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." ”
Han Jiangxue looked into Liu Zhishu's eyes, and said with a torch in her eyes: "Liu Zhishu, thank you for your kindness!" But you also heard Chen Liang say that Heifeng Mountain was blocked by the enchantment set by Concubine Hua, and even if we wanted to, we couldn't escape. Besides, Concubine Hua is a disaster to the world, and her sins are unforgivable, and it is our duty to eliminate her. ”
Liu Zhishu knew that Han Jiangxue had made up his mind, so he simply stopped talking more, and just told the two of them to be more careful in everything.
"I wish you all the best!"
With that, Liu Zhishu held an umbrella and walked back to the village slowly, and his figure soon disappeared into the thick night.
"Let's go!"
The two turned on the bright flashlight they took down from the car, got into the knee-deep wild grass, and walked towards Concubine Hua's grave as if walking on thin ice.
Due to the heavy rain for a day, the soil on the mountain became very soft, and there were even small landslides in some places.
Song Yu walked in front of the road, watching the six roads and listening to all directions, the rain at this time has weakened a lot compared with the afternoon, despite this, there is still a drizzle of goose feathers in the sky, and the wind violently shakes the big trees on the mountain, making a low mournful roar, listening to it in this deep dark night, it seems that the cry of a lonely ghost makes people have goosebumps.
Continuing down the mountain, the weeds became gradually thinning, and Song Yu stepped on the gentle slope, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Just when the two were on high alert, a melodious and tactful Peking Opera singing voice floated into their ears.
"It's really weird, who will sing in the mountains on a big night?"
Song Yu shone a flashlight into the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart, and a little bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Han Jiangxue took out the revolver of exorcism, and said as if facing a great enemy: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!" It should be the tomb of Concubine Hua in front, and we must be careful. ”
Song Yu bowed slightly, took out the exorcism revolver full of bullets from his arms, and his heart was pounding.
The two walked forward side by side for more than ten meters, and at this moment, Han Jiangxue stopped unexpectedly, pointed to a black shadow not far away, and whispered a word in his mouth: "Ghost!" ”
This sound scared Song Yu enough, and the fingers that clenched the revolver almost pulled the trigger.
"Don't panic, let's go over and find out the situation first!"
Before they could take a few steps, the mysterious black shadow on the opposite side took the initiative to fly towards them.
"Concubine Hua has been waiting for the two of you for more than a long time, please come with me!"
By the light of the flashlight, the person in front of me was actually a paper figure dressed as a palace maid, with a bright blood-like blush on his face, and his facial features were no different from ordinary people, and he looked like a big living person.
Seeing this, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but be secretly taken aback: "The pasteur who made this paper figure is really amazing. There are still ghosts in the world who can make paper figures so vivid......"
While amazed, Song Yu didn't know what was going on, as if he had lost his soul, he threw down the revolver in his hand, walked forward and followed behind the paper man.
"This official, as long as you are willing to obey Concubine Hua, she will be able to ensure that you are rich and prosperous for a lifetime, so that you can live a life of fine clothes and food from now on."
Song Yu looked at the paper figure with demented eyes, nodded and replied, "I am willing to serve Concubine Hua as a dog and horse." ”
"Oops, Song Yu's sanity was controlled by that paper man with an evil method!"
After Han Jiangxue understood, she couldn't help but feel her scalp explode.
Before seeing Concubine Hua yet, Song Yu fell into the trap, if he entered the other party's lair, he might encounter some unpredictable traps.
Han Jiangxue immediately made a decision, and stepped forward with an arrow step, quickly stretching out her jade finger like a swift wind and poking it at Song Yu's head, but seeing a wisp of black gas slowly drifting out, Song Yu's cloudy and dull eyes gradually regained their brilliance.
"What's wrong with me?"
Han Jiangxue didn't have time to answer Song Yu, she waved the exorcism revolver, aimed at the paper man's head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot broke the silence of the night, and the exorcism bullet cut a graceful arc in the night sky, with a silvery-white arc of light, piercing the paper man's head.
The exorcism bullets fired by the revolver can inflict incurable damage to evil spirits, and if they can directly hit the enemy's vital point, they can even kill the enemy in one hit.
Han Jiangxue's shot knocked the paper man back to its original shape, and the paper man whose head was blown to pieces fell to the ground and lost his life.
Song Yu gasped and had the courage to check the situation of the paper man.
"Damn, it's really careless to fall into the way of a paper man!"
For Song Yu, this trip to Black Wind Mountain to carry out the mission was his first actual combat operation since joining the 501 team, but what he didn't expect was that before the main owner appeared, he touched a nose on the little minion's body, which would be a shame if it was spread out.
Han Jiangxue knew that Song Yu's mood was a little low, and comforted him: "Song Yu, cheer up!" I remember when I first joined the 501 team, the first time I went on a mission with Brother Ye, because I was too nervous, I couldn't even walk, and as a result, I let go of the fugitive alien, which caused us to be scolded by the team leader. Compared to me at that time, you are also a newcomer, and your performance is already very good. ”
Song Yu lowered his head, feeling inexplicably unhappy in his heart.
As a big man, he was rescued by his female colleagues twice in a row, even if he was thick-skinned, he felt that it was really a little unreasonable.
"No, I have to get stronger as soon as possible, I can't just rely on the help of others!"
After solving the paper figures that stood in the way, Han Jiangxue and Song Yu continued to move forward. The further you go, the cooler it becomes.
It's the height of summer in July, and even if there was a heavy rainstorm today, it won't be so cold.
The breath exhaled by the two quickly condensed into a white mist, and Song Yu shivered with cold, and couldn't help but blow his nose with his hand.
Han Jiangxue was no better, her body was cold as if she had a needle prick, but in order not to worry Song Yu, she pretended to be fine, stabilized her body, and tried not to expose her flaws.
"Jiang Xue, what do you think is that?"
Looking in the direction of Song Yu's finger, in the dark night, there was a deep mansion compound standing on the dirt slope not far away, and on the vermilion gate with carved beams and paintings, a white paper lantern was hung on the left and right sides, flickering with a faint blue glowing ghost fire.
Han Jiangxue shone the flashlight on the gate, and saw a plaque hanging on the top of the door beam, on which four big characters were written: "Huajia Compound." ”
"According to historical records, Hua Renbao, the head of the Hua family, loves calligraphy, especially wild grass, and presumably the handwriting on this plaque is from his handwriting."
After listening to Han Jiangxue's assertion, Song Yu nodded thoughtfully and said: "This handwriting is really good, if you take it to the black market for auction, you may be able to make a huge amount of money." ”
The two of them stood in front of the door of the Hua family's compound, thinking that it was Concubine Hua's lair inside, and their mood seemed to have pressed a thousand catties of boulders, which became extremely heavy, and even their breathing became heavy.
"Crunch ......"
Suddenly, the vermilion lacquer gate slowly opened outward, and Han Jiangxue and Song Yu heard the sound of the door opening, and hurriedly retreated some distance, for fear of being attacked by the opposite side.
"I didn't expect you guys to be quite punctual, come in, Niangniang has already set up a banquet and is waiting for the two distinguished guests to be served."
The person who opened the door was Han Jiangxue Chen Liang, whom they had only met in the afternoon, and it seemed that this kid was really bought by Concubine Hua.
Song Yu took a deep breath, looked at Han Jiangxue unconsciously, and asked in a low voice, "Instructor, you give me a happy word, should we go in or not?" ”
Han Jiangxue turned to look at Song Yu sideways, and replied loudly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, no matter what kind of ghosts and ghosts are in it, we will all go in and walk for a while!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Han Jiangxue added: "After you go in later, your eyes will shine, listen to my instructions, and don't act rashly." ”
Song Yu nodded yes, and then did not say another word.
Chen Liang held a white paper lantern in his hand, walked in front to lead the way, Han Jiangxue and Song Yu followed him into the compound, and just walked not far away, only to hear a loud bang behind him, and the door quickly closed.
"Is this going to cut us off completely?"
Han Jiangxue saw it in her eyes, but her heart set off waves like the sea.
The Hua family is worthy of being a huge rich person at that time, the house built belongs to the four-entry courtyard in the layout, it is the further expansion of the three-entry courtyard in the direction of depth, the houses in the courtyard are lined up one after another, whether it is the wing room on the east and west sides, or the main house that sits in the north and faces the south, it is the Danying carved tree of a water, antique, showing the magnificent and luxurious atmosphere.
Song Yu and Han Jiangxue were in this beautiful compound, and they couldn't help but linger, the two of them were like Grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden, looking east and west, and feeling that everything was very fresh.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Liang guided the two to a house in the deepest part.
I saw Concubine Hua and a few elders sitting at the log dining table, talking and laughing, Chen Liang walked into the house slowly and whispered: "Niangniang, I brought someone here." ”
Concubine Hua turned her head sideways and looked out of the door, still wearing the whole set of phoenix crowns.
Han Jiangxue and Song Yu straightened their waists, like two King Kong wrestlers standing on the ground, and the two of them were neither humble nor arrogant, sending a signal to Concubine Hua: they will never be restrained!
"Xiao Liangzi, what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you take a seat! ”
Chen Liang realized that Concubine Hua was about to get angry, so he hurriedly withdrew from the house, bowed his head and respectfully invited Han Jiangxue and Song Yu into the house.
"Concubine Hua, I haven't seen you for a day, I don't know if your hand still hurts?"
Han Jiangxue's words seem to be a pot that can't be opened on the surface, but last night she personally shot and injured Concubine Hua, so she formed a deep hatred with Concubine Hua.
Who knew that Concubine Hua gently raised her white jade-like Qianqiansu hand, as if she was deliberately showing it to Han Jiangxue, and there was no trace of injury on the white and tender skin that could be broken by blowing.
Seeing this, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but be shocked in her heart: "What's going on?" The hole in her hand was blown out by the exorcism bullet, and even the spirit body was severely damaged, no matter how advanced her spiritual cultivation was, it would not take only one day to recover......"
Concubine Hua looked at Han Jiangxue with interest, and said in a cold tone: "You seem to be puzzled, why don't I have any scars on my hands?" It doesn't hurt to tell you, it's because I wasn't the one who showed up in the psychiatric hospital last night. ”
When Han Jiangxue heard this, she couldn't help frowning: "It's not you, who could it be?" ”
Concubine Hua stood up from her seat and responded with cold eyes: "To deal with your kind of goods, do you need my Concubine Hua to take action personally?" Hmph, the one I fought against you last night was just a clone I made! ”
“......”
Concubine Hua's words were like five thunderbolts, Han Jiangxue and Song Yu only felt their scalps explode at this time, and they secretly said something bad in their hearts.
